CARROLL ON THE NEWS | New “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” Trailer Released

The results of the Canadian Federal Election was not the only exciting bit of news that caught the social media world by storm.

During the Monday Night Football broadcast, the new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released to the masses, and got everyone talking about the interstellar adventure once again.

The Star Wars movie franchise, starting in 1977 with Star Wars Epsiode IV: A New Hope, will be releasing its latest installment in the franchise this December. The long awaited first installment of the trilogy has been a hot topic since the announcement of a new movie in January of 2013, and over 10 years since the latest movie, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, was released. For fans of the franchise, the hopes are set very high on a new trilogy that may be a little more critically successful, as opposed to the first three movies in story arch (Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Episode II: The Clone Wars, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith), which did not live up to the hype that was expected.
